"Because of you Raila, there are a lot of unanswered questions. We want the respect we have given you honorable prime minister. Respect begets respect. Never again shall Luhya leaders divide our people," said tough-talking Khalwale.

Raila who had joined mourners in Shinyalu for the funeral of mother to Shinyalu MP Kizito Mugalia, said the handshakes had nothing to do with forging any political alliance.

Borrowing from an analogy of a hunter, the opposition chief said he had come back with some goodies for the country.

While in the spirit of embracing dialogue, peace and uniting Kenyans, Raila had previously met with retired president Moi at his Kabarnet home, before this, he had held closed door meeting with President Uhuru.

Other politicians who have met with the opposition leader include former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and ex-Kiambu governor William Kabogo.

Political commentators argue there could be more to the new truce between the politicians who at one one point were bitterly at odds.

Already there are talks of creating a new premiership position to accommodate Raila in the Jubilee government, Deputy President William Ruto and lieutenants are opposed to this.
